Challenges

The client operates a crowdfunding platform that connects sustainability-focused startups with investors through revenue-based reimbursement models. As activity increased, the organisation needed to evolve from an initial platform setup to a more resilient product foundation and establish a delivery team that could build the next version with confidence.

Approach

  • We worked with the client’s leadership to translate a clear product vision into a structured delivery plan and a right-sized team model
  • We assessed the existing platform setup to identify continuity and delivery risks
  • We defined priorities and converted requirements into an actionable roadmap
  • We set up a small delivery team designed for fast execution and clear ownership
  • We recommended a three-person team structure rather than a two-person setup to ensure stronger technical direction from day one
  • We added an experienced technical lead alongside full-stack developers to introduce good practices and structure the engineering organisation
  • We provided ongoing strategic and operational guidance to strengthen ways of working and accelerate team maturity
  • We kept the model flexible, with the option to adjust team size over time as needs evolved

Results

  • 1 Senior Team Lead + 2 software developers, collaborating closely with the CPO on a daily basis
  • End-to-end full-stack expertise, accelerating team maturity through hands-on leadership and mentorship
  •  Lean tech and product rituals, tailored to the startup’s pace and need for rapid iteration

Technologies USED

Next.js ; NestJS ; PostgreSQL ; Drizzle ORM
